Abstract

A method includes applying thermal and/or strain modeling to the CAD representation of an object. In addition, scan path data is generated based at least in part on a result of the thermal and/or strain modeling. A build file comprising the scan path data is generated. The build file comprises instructions that configure an additive manufacturing tool to generate the object according to the scan path data.
